They had more fun with that clamp and stick than the victormaxx itself lol

This felt like a Nerd episode in it's own weird way

This is my favorite James and Mike moment... Hours of preamble and setup. Tons of tinkering and anticipating. Finally, they get it working! Mike asks, "how does it look?" James replies, "it looks like shit!" Hahahhahahahahahaha!! I love you guys!

This makes the Virtual Boy look like the Oculus Rift.

This is easily my favorite James & Mike video, the part where Mike clips the thing to his shirt gets me everytime.

I am begging you to at least once a month, do a hardware thing like this on James and Mike Mondays. Please. PLEASE, YOU FUCKS!

Mike in every single video: "It's like, fuckin', like, it's almost like, fuckin', like..."

Mike's sudden realisation on what the stick's purpose is never fails to make me lose my shit.

the stick deserves its own episode

from the womb to the tomb, zoom.

I like how all these old videos look like they were filmed on VHS

Don't know why, but this is one of my favorite videos! The resume, them figuring out how to hook it up, all is great!

This would make for a great AVGN episode

"He went to Yale, which he referred to as Jail.." -James Rolfe

I swear to god this was the best cinemassacre video ever

Watching the two of you try and puzzle together this heap of garbage is like something from a Saw movie.

Adding a random stick to your product is such an awesome idea. They don't make them like they used to.

You were missing one of the "squids." There is one for Genesis and one for SNES. $400 for that thing years ago! Can you imagine buying this thing in 1993!? I would have been PISSED! You can buy like 10 games for that price!

"from the womb to the tomb, zoom" best quote of the century.

I found one of these last year at a flea market. It came with the SNES cord you guys were missing, so it DOES play snes games. I've done it and it kinda works with super mario world. KINDA.

Mike: "What's the game were playing?" James: "Doesn't matter."

Essentially, it's a television screen for your face... that's uncomfortable.

12:56 You can just see the hope leave his face at the realization of what all his hard work was for. Even with half his head covered by that monstrosity you can see all that you need to get the picture.

Just two dudes having fun

who was sent here by James Rolfe?

I think these kind of videos have a certain appeal to them that the standard AVGN episodes don't. They're unscripted and completely honest, so what you see is what really happens. There's something to be said about two guys playing shitty games without a script dictating what they're saying, and I think it's one of the reasons Game Grumps has gotten so popular.

I love watching this vid over and over. They spend like an hour setting it up and give up playing in thirty seconds to keep from going blind. Beautiful.

I figured out what the stick was for, guys! The little thing on the side of the headset that the stick hooks into spins. When you turn your head left and right, it causes the stick to move, causing the thing to spin, which then causes the perspective changes in the little screen in the headset. Also the reason you couldn't hook it to the SNES is that you were missing a set of cords (or maybe you had the cords and just didn't know what to do with them). That set of squid cords you've got hooked to the main cord is only for Genesis. You can remove this via that middle joint thing and replace it with another set of squid cords that has SNES-compatible hookups instead. PLEASE do a redo on this thing and do it a bit more justice. I mean, you've gotta warn the people. This assload of shit can cause fucking vertigo as well as headaches! It can be legitimately worse than what you've made it out to be here!

i miss this duo so much

"THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!"

Man that was funny when they were trying to figure out what the pole did

I like that 90% of the video was them just trying to get the fucking thing to work haha

Them having fun with that weird stick, was freaking hilarious XD

this made my month i never knew this video existed and ive been watching you since gametrailers

James and Mike had way too much fun making this video.

Feels like the pilot for James and Mike Mondays

8 years ago... no way. Where did my life go?

Came back to rewatch this classic!

This video is AMAZING, a perfect encapsulation of the frustration of hooking up obscure peripherals and dealing with wire squids!!!! Victormaxx's philosophy of life quote is one of the most bizarre and awesome sentences ever, & the realization regarding the function of that weird "stick with a clip on it" thing is absolutely priceless!!!!

I love how this kinda turned into an impromptu Nerd episode

my dads friend was the owner of that company. i had a couple growing up, its a piece of trash. that rod is used to determine the orientation of your head if I am not mistake, and there is another dongle that is used for the snes you are missing. But yeah it blew, just figured I would share my info with you

"From the womb to the tomb. Zoom." That's amazing.

VictorMaxx, you are the the greatest troll of the 20th century.

Oculus Rift? HTC Vive? Pffffft! Victormaxx Stuntmaster is where it's at :P.

I have one of those, well, I think I still have it. The stick thing activates the little actuator on the side of the headset and depending on what mode one of the dipswitches on the bottom of the headset is set to, changes what buttons it pushes when you turn your head. The idea is you could play like Doom and set it so when you turn your head you turn side to side or something. Also the thing is awful and uncomfortable as fuck. Edit: to work with the SNES you needed the Nintendoctopus cable, the Sega Squid is a different connector. The controller connections on the cable were a passthrough to allow the little shoulder stick activate inputs. The only use for the thing was probably to have a personal screen, but it was like a 240i display or some shit so you can't read ANY text, and it had a bunch of overscan so you couldn't see the edges of the display. The thing is, indeed, a piece of fucking shit. And it was my Christmas one time.

i love how they start semi-serious and at the end they verbaly rip this thing apart.

These guys are so geeky. And that makes me feel good. Right on brothas!

this looks like it was recorded with those old camcorders from the 80s and 90s i love it.

I love how their whole opinion of this thing was just a downward spiral from the beginning.

Can't believe i never watch this James and mike episode. This is hilarious

Mike is hilarious 😂 The perfect balance to James hilariousness.

Every time I watch James and Mike doing stuff like this. It reminds me of me and my childhood friend. :') More videos like this.

Jesus Christ, was this the best Cinemassacre! 🎉🎉😥

I like how throughout the whole video they never thought that the SNES cords might just be missing.

11:20 "Guess what? This is not fitting." *moan*

Both this and the 3D glasses video are funnier than the actual AVGN Sega Accessories and Interacter Menacer episodes.

It looks to me like the "squid" for the SNES connectors is missing.

"From the womb to the tomb...zoom...." HAHA I laugh so hard at that every time :))

Props to his parents for having the foresight to return this shit during the return window.

Mike was really funny in this. He's gotten WAY more confident in front of the camera! Good for him! :)

It's impossible not to laugh with them! :D James kicking the box at the end is hilarious xD

After watching James' recordings from childhood, it's almost impossible not to notice how he's almost exactly the same as he was all those years ago.

their hysterical laughing really just makes for the best content

I miss the rawness of James Rolfe’s videos. This is always one of my favorites to watch

"doesn't admit to ever being a child" that's beautiful. I'm gonna start saying that any time I'm asked about my childhood in any way.

This video is a hidden gem

9:46 has got to be one of Mikes funniest moments!!

Would be the 2 coolest people in the world to game with

This is probably my favorite video, because it truly shows some of the confusion we have all had on these old systems.

The resume is the best part of the video. "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse??"

Just remember: You can always find almost any instruction manual on internet. That's how i learned to use the oven on my home stove. And re-programed the universal remote supposedly paired to one of the AC units.

You guys had me laughing even on a terrible day. I really appreciate that.

I remember playing Fzero with this thing.

that "look at this fucking mess" line gets me every time

13:55 that look on Mike's face.....like legitimate annoyance mixed with confusion and pain. feel so bad for him and James. :(

This should've been an AVGN video. Actually, he hasn't done any accessory videos for awhile now.

I can see why Mike was kept in so long. They seemed to have a lot of fun together even if a lot of fans hated him lol

Ahhhh memories, back when I was watching KZfaq on my PSVita.

this thing is a torture device

This makes the r zone look like the HTC VIVE Pro

you guys should do stuff like this on James & Mike Mondays.

looks like an older version of the Oculus Rift

It’s a shame we likely won’t have these types of videos anymore. I hope Mike will show up here and there with James on the channel, but I doubt it’ll be as consistent like it was before.

u 2 are so good friends! :D so cute how you jocking around all the time together ! ^^

13:53 I thought he was going to say "I think I'm blind"

This video is a classic. Great genuine freeform stuff here.

Did they never figure out the stick is a control I put for the head movement ?

These videos of James and Mike just doing their thing unscripted are some of the best avgn videos.

this is my favorite cinemassacre video.

the virtual reality stuntmaster helmet really does make the virtual boy something badass

2:13 still always makes me crack the fuck up mike. "Thats like if you open zelda and get Miyamotos birth certificate😂😂like who the fuck cares"

Mike has an incredible imagination! He's really awesome

THE YMCA HELP FOUNDATION

It's so infectious to see how much fun they're having. We all need friends like these in our lives.

Omg. I used to have this and could not remember what it was called. Thank you so much.

Best part. "That's like if you open up the Legend of Zelda and inside is like Miyamoto's birth certificate or something. It's like who fucking cares?"

I haven't laughed so hard in a while

Great episode! I lost it when Mike started demonstrating the clamp.

That thing was worth being made just to see this episode lmao you guys are fuckin hilarious
